Pop-Medical Clinics
These critical day medical clinics provide invaluable assistance to individuals who would not have access to free health services. In one report given, there is an estimate of 25 physicians and 11 nurses per 100,000 Haitian people. These numbers are staggering when the number of sick never receive treatment. In collaboration, we are working with the Church of God in Jeremie to conduct monthly clinics in villages that have inadequate opportunities to have consultations with medical staff.
During these clinics, individuals receive initial assessments of chronic problems; children are examined for early detection of any potential health challenges, and seniors are often administered medicines for diabetes as well as hypertension. With your generosity, we can increase the number of pop-clinics in other regions of Haiti and begin these services in West and Southern Africa.
